The player controls Sam, a character of an unspecified gender, who has mysteriously washed ashore on a very small
and empty island. On this island, there is only a large shack. Inside this shack are many arcade-games. Sam learns
that in order to leave the island, Sam must pass (or, beat) the highscore of an arcade game entitled, "Psychopath".
However, Sam will also be uncovering the mysteries behind the lone shack as he/she makes headway through
Psychopath's complex levels.
General Information:
Highscore is the product of over a year and half's worth of work. Created by two individuals who had too much time
on their hands, Highscore is a very full adventure that includes at least six hours to eight hours of game play. The
game's engine is smooth and unique, combining aspects of first-person shooters, puzzle games, and classic
platforming games all into one. The game contains graphics that purposefully resemble the work of a deranged child
to help boost the game's surreal atmosphere. The soundtrack, though midi, is comprised of all original pieces. The
in-game text was precisely written with care (well, the subject matter was. Please forgive any slight grammar or
spelling mistakes for now). The platforming is aimed at the extreme, the puzzles are balanced throughout, and the
combat requires fast-thinking. We (designers Nathan Ball and Ben Cochrane) very much hope you will enjoy Highscore,
despite how confused it may leave you in the end. The game is, after all, very mysterious and surreal by nature.
Starting Controls:
ASWD - Movement
Spacebar - Jump
Left Mouseclick - Execute/Select
Enter - Pause
END - Options Menu
HOME - Progress Menu
The remainder of the controls are revealed and explained within the game. Just make sure to stop and read the signs
that say 'INFO' on them.

How do you know about the console? >:O I'd tell you, but that would spoil all the fun. I might release a cheat pack for it in the little coin shop thing later if I get the time thought. :P
(EDIT: I did this, and it should be for sale for like 20 coins or something [it includes ~20 cheats/commands] )
I actually thought it was really funny that most of the comment's and debate are about Sam's name. My friend agreed (that is was funny, anyway)
Thanks, and I'm really glad you appreciated the game! I've spent more than a year on it at this point

how do you get to the console in Squares? Also, I believe that the below are absolute retards, Sam is a very generic name. Also, the game is wonderful.
